I no have the fancy tools likem you guys, but thats what I use, palm sander, works great!!

leave the paper off and I will tell you, makes a great rub out toy also :-*

Re: Fiberglassing tools
 

I would think a disc-sander on a drill-motor and a good palm-sander would yield a pretty good job...long as ya keep that disc under control :o ...

Yeah...I like it w/ 80 GRIT and plugged into 220 :o ...

hey I Love my air tools I have all air tools. I say air if you have a compressor. I run all mine on a 120 gallon 8 hp compressor usually @195 PSI. I couldn't make it without my air tools. much cheaper tools. Air DA is $7.99 from Harbor Freight. Plus you'll need a line sander if you plan on major work. never seen to many electric line sanders, they are $19.99 from HF as well.

Heck i found this compressor an it only needed the reeds cleaned. It's a Freebie and works great and will keep up with my Air DA sander.

lol yeah you know your Gravely's There Phat i have 2 1969 Gravely 7.6 Model L's best part they are in sequence serial numbers. my grand dad bought them new. I wish i had more attachments, i only have the rotary plow, 46" sickle bar, 42" bush hog, 48" snow / dirt blade, cultvator plow, steering sulky, and ditch trencher.

Re: Fiberglassing tools
 

unless you have a big compressor, tools like sanders and grinders will wear a compressor out( or your eardrums if its too close to you), I have a lot of air tools and they all have their time and place, but I've found on gell(except for the sprayer) and glass work, its hard to beat electric

We were gravely dealers from 69 till 84. my dad had a small engine shop. i had a 7.6 until someone stole if from the barn last year. great engines. they went downhill when they started putting the kohlers on. i had the 30" bush hog & rotary tiller. tuff pieces of equipment....

Re: Fiberglassing tools
 

yeah those old 7.6 were Studebakers motor. I really want an old 816 Gravely Rider that has front and rear PTO for the old Model L attachments
